Pre-Order now to receive access to the upcoming beta, and on September 9th gear up for day one with a special Vanguard Player Emblem and early access to the Vanguard Armory weapons.

Good price versus the rest but this should still be around the £65 mark imo. $35 for 2 pieces of dlc nicely converted to £35 in the UK is already insulting enough.

Not interested in the extras, but it's currently the best price by the looks of it.Got the game ordered for £35 and I recently bought £50 xbox credit for £32, which I might end up using for the season pass (I'll have to see how much content the dlcs give first)

8th Jul 2014

Yeah this is the best price so far, but still not great considering how much it should be. Should be around £58 without VAT. I think £60-70 is the range I'd be happy buying at. £80 seems pretty pricy considering what you're getting.

so it isnt a complete season pass included?

so it isnt a complete season pass included?

"Expansion Pass" which includes 2 'expansions'. How expansive those will be is yet to be known. But they'll cost $19.99/£19.99 each, or $34.99/£34.99 for the expansion pass which includes the first 2. Whether they'll do more than 2 is also currently unknown. And no, that $/£ conversion isn't a typo.

The only info we've got to go on at the moment regarding their amount of content is:

the game is locked at 30fps these consoles are not as good as they make out. 30fps in this day and age is shocking.

That was LAST generation. When those consoles came out HD was in its infancy, now it is the norm, (just like UHD is now) but sadly these consoles are either woefully under powered or devs are lazy.

i think people just want to be able to justify the fact they just dropped £350 on a new piece of hardware. higher frame rate results in a smoother experience and more responsive controls which for me, makes a game more fun. not such a big deal on a game like destiny but something like titanfall there is nothing more annoying that the game chugging and causing you to miss shots.

combination of both i imagine, maybe not so much laziness as it's probably not worth the extra time and effort optimising further to get a bit better performance as most people would be none the wiser

UHD is the norm now? You must be out of your mind.

Agreed. Many PC gamers simply wouldn't countenance the idea of lowering themselves to playing games of such an objectively poor standard.

If you bothered to read the whole sentence instead of trolling, UHD is the equivalent to HD when last gens consoles were released.

If nobody cares as your meme portrays, why post, obviously you do.

Yep, just like Dead Rising 3 and others were going to stay as Xbox One exclusives and never come to PC either, lol.

For the record, Destiny's dev has already made positive noises about there being a PC version of their game at some point so I'd say it's probably more of a formality than needing 'good luck'.

Of course Bungie will say positive things about PC, they are hardly going to shoot it down are they!

Activision are the ones pushing for a PC version (They want the $$$), but Bungie hasn't released a PC game since Halo 2 so I'd be surprised to see it come to PC in the next 12 months.

If the game takes a further year or so to arrive on PC then no problem. Thank you in advance for having beta tested it in preparation for the real deal!

Funny comments aside, I'm keen to see how the game turns out (on PS4 obviously, as opposed to the other weaker consoles) because despite all the hype and the hysterical wailing of the fanboys it still seems very much open to question as to how good the game will prove to be. Yes, I certainly hope it turns out well but I'm not jumping on board the hype train like some people appear to have already done.

1. Not my meme2. It isn't the equivalent at all. 1080p was the equivalent of UHD for back then not normal HD. Xbox 360 couldn't even output 1080p until an update

actually a lot of people care some games at 30fps are very playable and the some others are not. All I was stating is that its locked at 30fp why u got to go out your way to be a bell.

It's utterly pointless to moan and complain on a deal page whereby you have absolutely no control over it. Yes 60fps would be ideal but this is a site for deals. Frame rate doesn't make a game and so called 'gamers' need to understand that.

8th Jul 2014

Heat from me.

This is a deal, all the cold votes are from sour people regarding £/$ conversion, but that isn't going to change and this is £15 cheaper than everywhere else.

Sorry the xbox 360 never put out true 1080p. It was 720p upscaled. Also the 1st gen Xbox 360 did not have hdmi so needed a hardware revision to enable upscaled 1080p output.

fair point but next gen consoles that promise next gen resolutions and frame rates should keep to that. If I want 30fps why bother upgrading from Xbox 360 and ps3?

Oh, and thean 1st gen 360, couldn't do 1080P over component? I think it could (_;)

9th Jul 2014

+ Heat, should be pretty hot considering the price elsewhere. Unfortunately people have derailed the comments by bringing their views of Bungie's handling of the product into it.

Also if you look into it this is a great price - you're basically paying £5 for the steelbook, in-game customisation items and physical items (as the 'Expansion Pass' is going to be £35 separately).

12th Jul 2014

the only deal better than this is the tesco deal with topcashback and code..but why this is cold when its the second cheapest around is beyond me..i find this alot on hotukdeals thats why i dont post much ..some serious haters out there! heat added!

Bungie gave some reasons why it runs at 30fps on all platforms... supposedly for a consistent experience cinemablend.com/gam…tml

Either way there will always be games that run at less than 60fps, even on future consoles. It's not unexpected for games as big in complexity and scope as this, and as long as the game runs smoothly and stays that way with lots of players on-screen then that's all that matters.
